This Lent
My wife always asks me what I'm giving up for Lent, knowing that I give something up. She prefers to add acts of charity and almsgiving rather than focus on the thing to give up. For me, beer and wine are on the Index of Forbidden Beverages at least until Easter. We're going to starting praying the rosary together in the evening before bed as well.
I'm also going to post some things I'm thankful for here during Lent. It seems to me I need to think about those things in the context of Lent and that may open me up to the grace of being more humble and receptive to God's will in my life.
